I was going to make a comment about how euopeans keep appeasing fascists, but the president of fifa is italian, the people who literally invented fascism, so that kind of skews things a bit.
Considering FIFAs experience with sucking up two-bit dictators it’s quite damning that they had it that easy with Trump. A cheap bauble and the aging narcissist rolls out the red carpet.
Most people bribe with money, but FIFA shrewdly found a cheaper way.
Tim Apple gave him a gold phone.
I saw a video where he “introduced” someone to the FIFA president…
Trump was talking to them and said “you want to meet the president of soccer?” And before they can answer he yells at this jabroni to come over, never looks in his direction again, rambles a little about how impressive he is, and then just wanders off.
